gonna see if i can get it warrantied today. if not i am ordering a new clutch kit today!

Ouch, looks like someone installed a new clutch without turning the flywheel



What ever you do dont admit to that if its true. Most all clutch companies have in the warranty that its only covered if you turned the flywheel.



But from what I've been told they can tell if you turned it or not when they inspect it. Brian (from BNR) has a friend that own a company that builds clutches (SPEC clutches) and he's the one that told me that.

Watch you'll get ******* sponsorship out of this and I'll be pissed :twisted:

vosko 01-23-2003 02:27 PM

well i talked to the judge and he recommended i get a special order version. once i talk to him again to make sure its the right one. the clutch setup i'm getting is the same one that's in a 8 second 700rwhp rotary car https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

that would be pressure plate not flywheel, and I think that it was fine till you put it on top of that issue of sport compact, the evil honda forces creeped into the metal and caused havok LOL

is that the way it was when it was removed or did someone take a rotary tool to it to clean it up with like an abrasive disc or something?

I tried to turn my stock flywheel when I was replacing my clutch and it was a 2 step flywheel but the burns went deep into the first step, I actually got it down to a negative step and I still couldn't get the burns out. So I had to order a new one. I just kept going as far as I could. Mine was pretty fucked. Also, I noticed that too that we were all looking at a pressure plate. I can't believe it took so long for someone to mention it. Congrats Vosko, you can damage things beyond others belief. Way to go. Post some pics of your blown up trannies. I want to see one. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

ahh, see thats what makes it look so nasty, i cant really tell the warpage from this angle, just all the junk from the cleaning attempt.

vosko 01-24-2003 08:08 PM
